    Justified Pride? Metaphors of the Word Pride in English Language Corpora, 1418–1991
    (2006-09-14T17:34:43Z) Tissari, Heli
    This article deals with the words pride, proud and proudly in a cognitive linguistic framework, addressing the questions: (1) What causes pride? (2) Which other concepts are associated with pride? (3) What are people’s behavioural reactions to pride? (4) Which conceptual metaphors contribute to people’s understanding of pride? It discusses and compares three periods, Late Middle and Early Modern English (1400–1700), Late Modern English (1700–1900), and Present-Day (20th century) English, with the aim of tracing possible changes in the conceptualization of pride. The data comes from five electronic corpora of English containing a number of different text types.

    Live, Moribund, and Dead Metaphors
    (2006-09-14T16:33:26Z) Alm-Arvius, Christina
    Prototypical instances of live, moribund and dead metaphors can be distinguished, but the peripheral parts of these categories intersect in an indeterminate way because of contextual modifications or interpretative differences among language users. The basic distinctive criteria are that 1) the target meaning of a live metaphor is transparently connected with the source, while 2) a moribund metaphor is entrenched and lexicalised and need not be understood via its source, although the source and the metaphor are polysemously connected. Finally, 3) a dead metaphor is no longer a metaphor. It has become literalised, since it is not now connected with its historical source content.
